What factors are associated with advance care planning in community-dwelling older people? Data from TILDA.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo assess advance care planning (ACP) in a large population-representative sample of older people.
methodsAt Wave 4 of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, participants were asked: Have you made your wishes/preferences known about the kind of care that you would like to receive in the event of serious illness?
resultsOne quarter (1153/4831) had discussed ACP. Of those, 90% had discussed with family/friends, 10% documented ACP in writing, while 2% had discussed with a healthcare professional. Age ≥ 80 years [OR 1.63 (1.31-2.02)], female sex [OR 1.58 (1.37-1.83)], higher educational attainment [OR 1.42 (1.18-1.71)], poorer self-rated health [OR 1.67 (1.06-2.62)] and lower levels of religiosity [OR 1.50 (1.02-2.19)] were independently associated with ACP.
conclusionOnly one in four older people had discussed ACP informally, while less than 3% have ACP documented in writing. Further work is required to educate the public and healthcare professionals regarding treatment choices at end-of-life.
